So what happened Alex George then? Well I can now say that they say they have been taken over by the Infinity motorcycle clothing chain. As you probably know Infinity specialise in top quality motorcycle apparel and do not sell hard parts, such as chains, pads, plugs, oil filters, tyres ETC, and have passed that side of the business over to us. We have expanded our stock and are now set up to supply ALL your motorcycle parts needs.

More and more we are having people turn up at our workshop with modern classic Japanese bikes. It seems that to be cool these days you have to ride something that was made in the 1970s, 1980s or 1990s.

In fairness, all of these were good bikes in their day, but after a few years in the shed they may just need some tlc before venturing out onto Her Majesty's highway in earnest.

After recently seeing a video of the shape our bike got into at Santa Pod, there was no option but to fit a new Nitron race rear unit. In the slo-mo, it could clearly be seen that the back wheel was actually lifting clear of the track on gear changes, and that is definitely not healthy.

Since changing the shock, and a change to a slightly lower profile tyre we have been able to consistently equal our best ever times and then run a new PB!, there is a lot more to come for next season. Look out!
